Cultural Insights from Our Concierge Agent
“I recommend visiting a place most tourists haven’t heard of to discover the real Prague. One of my favourites is a picturesque district near Prague Castle called New World. We could call it the ‘Prague Montmartre,’ where all kinds of interesting artists like graphic designers, photographers, painters and animators reside in tiny, unique houses – including the only log house in the heart of the city.”
Our Pastry Sous Chef’s Best Bet for Czech Pastries
“Get in touch with the local food culture on Saturday mornings by taking a stroll down Naplavka to the Farmers Market. Grab a traditional Czech pastry like a donut or plum cake at Pekárna Zlivice bakery and sit on the riverbank to watch the swans glide by while you savour your treat.”
Where Our Guest Experience Manager Unwinds with Friends
“The arts in Prague have much more to offer than the Gothic and Baroque splendours of the Old Town and Prague Castle. I like to take a tram with friends to the Trade Fair Palace to peruse the collection of European and Czech 20th-century modern art. Afterwards, you can explore the sophisticated Letná district with its vibrant food scene. You should try Letenský zámeček restaurant – the beer garden is a great place to mingle with friends and locals alike.”
Our Marketing Director’s Favourite Cultural Activity
“My idea of a perfect evening is to take in a Czech Philharmonic concert at Rudolfinum concert hall. To hear Dvorak, Bach, Smetana or Beethoven from an orchestra of 124 players in perfect harmony always fills me with joy and allows moments where I forget about everything else and indulge only in beauty.”
